Suboptimal Results in Full Thickness Skin Graft Urethroplasty Using an Extrapenile Skin Donor Site

Abstract
Full thickness skin graft urethroplasties (22) were performed [in humans] for treatment of urethral stricture disease or hypospadias. Excellent results were achieved in 18 cases in which a penile skin donor site was used. Three failures occurred in 4 cases in which the full thickness graft was raised from the inner aspect of the upper arm. Caution should be taken when extrapenile skin is used for such repairs.
